Heat Pump problems
We have a Duo-Therm 60515 heat pump (13,500 BTU) that recently went out of commission on our mh and are evaluating our options. We have a 2007 Newmar with dual heat pumps on the roof plus a furnace b...

Well we ordered the Penguin II high capacity heat pump along with a conversion kit to run it with our 5 button CCC. Installed it yesterday and it cooled on a quick test. But in double checking things I noticed that the solenoid on the reversing valve was energized even with the CCC in the OFF position and MH hooked to shore power. Disconnected the shore power and the solenoid was un-powered of course. Does this sound right? I have the MH plugged in when not in use so the solenoid would be energized all the time now. If I touch the solenoid it is somewhat hot.
Just to confirm, I did do the CCC reset after the install and got the FF code. CCC switch was in the OFF position. I had set the zone 1 (where the new HP is located) to OFF mode before turning off the CCC. Conversion board instructions say to plug one purple reversing valve wire to the T4 terminal marked Violet and the other purple reversing valve wire to the white wire (which leads to the capacitor and joins with other common lines). And with the purple wires unplugged, I get 119VAC at the T4 terminal (with shore power connected).
